Thus, at a subsequent time, items still remaining under thering [3 will not be overlooked.

While the apparatus herein disclosed and described constitutes apreferred form of the invention, it is to be understood that theapparatus is capable of mechanical alteration without departing from thespirit of the invention and that such mechanical arrangements andcommercial adaptations as fall within the scope of the appended claimsare intended to be included herein.

Having thus fully set forth and described this invention, what isclaimed as new and desired to be secured by United States Letters Patentis:

'1. In a tab reminder device, a flexible closure member, a series ofindicator tabs, means for pivotally mounting said tabs by one end at acentral point in said closure cover, a combined locking and carryingring mounted on said closure cover to one side of said pivotal mountingadapted to receive and secure a series of selected tab indicators tosaid cover, and fastening means on said closure member adapted to holdsaid closure in wrapped position around said indicator tabs, pivot, andstrap.

2. In a tab reminder device having a flexible closure cover, a series ofindicator tabs pivotally mounted at a central point on said cover, and acombined confining strap and carrying ring on one portion of said coverto one side of said pivotal mounting for receiving and securing aselected series of said tabs, the remaining portion of said tabs beingdisposed together on the .opposite side of said pivot from said strap sothat said closure may be Wrapped around all of said tabs.

3. In a tab reminder device having a flexible closurecover, a series ofindicator tabs pivotally mounted at a central point on said cover, and atransversely movable confining ring and carry ing device on one portionof said cover to one side of said pivotal mounting for receiving andsecuring a selected series of said tabs, the remaining portion of saidtabs being disposed together on the opposite side of said pivot fromsaid strap so that said closure may be wrapped around all of said tabs,and fastening means for holding said closure cover in wrapped positionaroundsaid tabs. 4

g .4. In a portable tab reminder device, a flexible cover member, apivot post in the center of said cover member, a series of tab reminderspivotally connected at one of their ends to said post whereby said tabsmay be swung around said pivot for examination of data marked on theface of said tabs, and a restricting and carrying strap mounted on saidcover to one side of said pivot adapted to receive a series of selectedtabs and retain them for specific reference separate from all of theother tabs remaining on the opposite side of said pivot post from saidstrap.

5. In a portable tab reminder device, a flexible cover member, a pivotpost in the center of said cover member, a series of tab reminderspivotally connected at one of their ends to said post whereby said tabsmay be swung around said pivot for examination of data marked on theface of said tabs, a combined retaining and carrying ring mounted onsaid cover to one side of said pivot adapted to receive a series ofselected tabs and retain them for specific reference separate from allof the other tabs located on diametrically oppositeside of said pivotpost from said strap, and means whereby said cover may be wrapped aroundsaid thus-positioned indicator tabs including a fastener device forholding said cover in Wrapped position.

6. In a portable tab reminder device, a cover piece formed with a pairof spaced openings, a flexible loop slidably mounted on said piece insaid openings and presenting loop portions on opposite sides of saidcover piece, and a plurality of tab reminders pivotally carried by saidcover piece, any of said tab reminders being adapted to be selectivelyconfined by the loop portion on the corresponding side of said coverpiece.
